Former Minister of Transportation and ex-Governor of Rivers State, Rotimi Amaechi, has said many Nigerians are eager to vote President Bola Tinubu out of office in the 2027 general election.
Amaechi, who spoke in an interview on Friday while appearing on Channels Television’s The Morning Brief programme, cited worsening economic conditions and rising hardship across the country.
He painted a bleak picture of the current state of the economy, saying, “Everybody is suffering, everybody is looking for food to eat. People can’t buy fuel, can’t travel. The airlines are threatening to increase the cost of transportation; everything is skyrocketing.”
“For Christ’s sake, President Tinubu does not have the right to speak, he doesn’t. He promised power and said if he doesn’t give power, they should not vote for him. Nigerians are waiting to vote him out.”
